Redskins Locker Room

Ron Rivera on the Trent Williams trade: "This was an opportunity to part ways with a guy that wanted to move forward. We'll build the culture with guys that want to be here and feel good about where we are. It gives everybody an opportunity to start clean and start fresh."

Of course if the previous regime had handled it better (trade him last year), and if TW hadn't been such a jackass, we could've gotten more... but with the situation being what it had become, I see it has an absolute W ! Who was still expecting more ?

I am so sick of talking about Trent. When this started, I liked TW and partly blamed Bruce Allen and the medical staff. But after a year of this shitte Iím ready for him to go.

Iíve lost some respect for Trent. His greed and excessive salary request, kept us from obtaining a mutually beneficial trade for both the team and himself. $20 mill for a 31 yr old OT who has sat for a year and has had trouble staying on the field due to injuries, is just excessive.

Bye, and I bet most fans will dump his number and jersey. This ended badly for the fans, Rivera, the team and Trent. Adios and donít let the door hit your azz as you leave.

I think he wanted to go a contending team and lied instead of being honest. Let's see what he does with his contract here in SF, that will speak volumes. Who knows, maybe him and Kyle Shanahan had conversations and that's why he turned down the Vikings, I don't trust the Shanarats.

I know it's all water under the bridge now, but I am curious to know what Minnesota was offering, because I heard that Williams shot the deal down.

Trent killed the Minnesota deal - why?Minnesota is a contender, he protected Kirk Cousins for years and the Vikings were willing to pay him. So what was the beef? M

Trentís agent, Vince Taylor, recently accused the Redskins of not acting in good faith for Trent - so then HE kills the deal?!
Maybe there was bad blood between Cousins and Williams, but I would guess that Kirk was pushing the Minnesota leadership to hire TW. Cousins knew what Trent was worth and wanted Trent to protect him again.

In the end, the Redskins got only MODEST VALUE for Trent Williams. We have a big hole in our OL. The fifth round pick we got in the trade, was used in a surprising player, Ishmael- G/C. Guard or Center is not a position of need until NEXT YEAR, if we lose Scherff (G) or Roullier (C). So we lost Trent essentially for depth - for a backup player. On the positive side, we do have a third for next year and we saved more money for our cap, which are not even using this year. The best part of this trade was simply to end this distraction. Weíve been talking about this negative issue for 8 months.

Rivera was left with an awful position with Trent. Rivera talked to Trent to try to stay. They even l fired all the people that did Trent wrong, but it appears that this was really ABOUT MORE MONEY. Trentís outrageous salary demands killed most potential deals, he stopped a possible deal with Minnesota and his agent burned the bridge with the Redskins. Teams knew Rivera was in a tight spot, which is why the bidding was so low. Ultimately, this problem was Bruce Allenís last turd left for the team. He could have EASILY SCORED a FIRST ROUND pick last year (or MORE) but decided to punish Trent instead of gaining a sweet trade that the team could have really used!!

The team gained what little they could instead of having a first rounder based on Trentís true worth. More Bruce Allen BUFFONERY!!

I think Trent and Shanarat had spoken and had something up their Sleeve. How coincidental that Staley retires and Williams takes over.
